From DAAD reviewing our project in 2016
- DAAD 2016: one of the top-3 projects in the programme (out of 40 projects)
- Reviewer 2016: „With minor funds,
fundamental outcomes reached – based on personnel efforts and motivation“
(another success indicator)
The project must have had a value
What counts as value (a feature, an activity, an outcome) in our DAAD project?
- Workshops annually - Joint teaching materials - Teacher exchange (guest lecturing) - Joint papers _________________________ - Influence on local curricula - Other projects: EU Tempus

Reviewer’s remarks concerning …
… the paper at „Informatics Education Europe“, Freiburg, November 2009
General Remarks: - The results of the paper should be relevant to almost all universities in the
future.” - The paper is a good experience report about a running project with
experience. Nice results, high diversity of project partners. - This paper illustrates a good experience of the sharing of teaching material
across institutions and countries. It illustrates how the material can be used as both a complete course and as a selective topic choice.
- It is impressive that it was possible to use the materials for so many classes in all the different countries!
Also inquiries from outside the network, e.g. from Botswana
Subject: Joint course on Software Engineering Date: Wed, 8 Feb 2017 12:32:10 +0200 From: Ayalew (Prof.) <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Dear Prof. Bothe, read about the joint course on Software Engineering that you are running with other European universities (e.g. Serbia, Bulgaria, etc.). I am very much interested to have a similar cooperation to implement the joint course on Software Engineering in my university (Department of Computer Science, University of Botswana). If it works well, it could be extended to other universities in this side of the world. Let me know if this idea is feasible from your side. Best regards, Yirsaw *********** Yirsaw Ayalew, PhD Associate Professor, Department of Software Engineering University of Botswana Private Bag UB0704, Gaborone Tel. +267-3552869

Stability of the program: long-lasting
Stability of DAAD funding:
• Long-lasting for 16 years
• Our project received in 16 years: about 1.000.000 EUR
DAAD winter/summer school for young colleagues and students at Munich e.g. participants of our recent workshop 2018: took part at Munich (Gordana Rakic/Novi Sad, Goran Banjac/Banja Luka)

Summary
Outstanding programme of DAAD: 16 years of funding By motivated and creative partners in our project, a lot
of useful outcomes JCSE as a positive example of multilateral educational
cooperation (reviewers of conferences) Many professional advancements of colleagues
during that time (from Student to Staff to Professor) Personell contacts in our project did not lead to
stability at the Balkan, but in our project
My benefits
I enjoyed the project, since …
... I met motivated and creative colleagues
Berlin, May 2010
… I met open-minded and interested students
Tirana, May 2008
